We upgraded vBulletin to version 6 and with each new version come changes in appearance and functionality. Let me know if something is not right. - Dave
This is to notify all our members that since our recent software upgrade the system is not sending out any emails. This includes birthday emails, membership expiration emails and new Private Message notification emails. We recommend that all paid members check the date that they last paid as you will not get any warning that your membership is expiring. The system is also not sending out email notices when a new user signs up. If you just signed up you will not be notified via email that your membership has been accepted. Please be patient as it may take longer than usual to process your application. Our webmaster Dave Dare is aware of the problem. Hopefully it is fixed sooner than later. - John
I am powder coating parts and when I coat oil pans it's always difficult as I mask with tape but this leaves cured glue residues and I spend too much time cleaning that.
I guess it's better not to paint the inside of the oil pans but it would be much easier and faster to paint the whole part.
Is it possible?
It's better to clean glue residue then replace your engine when paint chips off and clogs your oil pump. No auto manufacturer that I know of paints the inside of the oil pan so why would you do it?
You are just confirming what I thought. I never saw a painted oil pan and was concerned about paint chips in the system.
As I know close to nothing, I prefer to ask...
The only paint Ford uses inside engine parts is 'marking paint'. Even then, it's used sparingly like on valve springs etc., so we can confirm which parts were installed. Do not paint any part of the inside of your engine. Ubiquitous overspray should be masked off. - Dave
